Ceredigion, Wales / November 2022 / abertoir.co.uk
A “smaller, cozy genre film festival” praised by a panelist for its “passionate, dedicated staff,” Abertoir has cemented itself as a premiere destination for horror in Wales. For the past 16 years, the Aberystwyth-based fest has drawn legends and rising stars of the genre from around the world to join for its top-shelf premieres, repertory runs of cult classics, and filmmaker-focused special events. Last November, Abertoir’s guests included Linda Hayden, star of Taste the Blood of Dracula and...
Sydney, Australia / 2022 / anightofhorror.com
Under the relatively new leadership of Bryn Tilly, who joined as festival director and programmer in 2020, A Night of Horror International Film Festival “continues to move forward and champion indie horror films as one of Australia’s most well-known horror festivals,” says a panelist. The same panelist also appreciates that “most of its program consists of cold submissions from indie filmmakers, as opposed to being sourced from distributors and agents.” In 2021, standouts from that program in...
London, U.K. / August 25-29, 2022 / frightfest.co.uk
One panelist dubs Arrow Video Frightfest “London’s ultimate horror party—where every screening is packed with die-hard horror lovers and the parties go until the sun rises every night!” Another panelist says Frightfest’s balance of indie and larger productions in its UK premiere slate is “not to be missed.” The fest often hosts numerous events annually, spreading its action out across multiple months. Last October, Frightfest hosted a two-day Halloween “mini-fest” at Cineworld, Leicester Squa...
Los Angeles, CA / Fall 2022 / beyondfest.com
“Beyond Fest is the festival Los Angeles needed, but doesn’t deserve,” jokes a panelist, who says its “A-plus, top-notch programming” makes it “one of the best festivals in the entire state of California and certainly the best in L.A.” That panelist also notes that “a Beyond Fest screening is sometimes the most important and key premiere for a first-time filmmaker, and may also be the only official theatrical screening of a film in L.A.” In 2021, the fest hosted the west coast premieres of Th...
Toronto, Canada / 2022 / bloodinthesnow.ca
Blood in the Snow Canadian Film Festival used to screen Canadian horror films exclusively. But one panelist notes that now, “it also accepts international co-productions which include Canada and foreign films with Canadian cast and crew, and has become one of the most respected and sought-after genre festivals in the country.” BITS returned in 2021 as a hybrid event for the first time in its history, hosting in-person screening at its flagship venue, The Royal Theatre, and broadcasting parts...
Brooklyn, NY / October 13-20, 2022 / brooklynhorrorfest.com
Whether you’re lucky enough to screen your own horror at the fest or just checking out its lineup as a fan, Brooklyn Horror Film Festival is a guaranteed good time. “I’m wracking my brain about how to make this sound ‘smart,’ but really, it’s just a lot of fucking fun,” says a panelist. “This is the place where you run into people, get caught up in a wonderful, oddball group, see some films, and get lost in the city. And it doesn’t get enough credit for it’s coolass programming, either.” In 2...
Brussels, Belgium / August 29-September 10, 2022 / bifff.net
“Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival is not only Belgium’s best and biggest genre festival, but might be the country’s top and best-known festival overall,” says a panelist. “Much like Fantasporto in Portugal, it has an inclination toward experimental fantasy and horror, but it’s a great fest for the European premiere of any genre film, big or indie.” BIFFF screens over 150 films every years for an average crowd of over 60,000, and in years past has been joined by the likes of Park...
Bucheon, South Korea / July 7-17, 2022 / bifan.kr/eng
“This one is personal to me,” a panelist says of Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival—a standard-bearer of the Asian genre fest circuit more commonly known as BiFan. “So many friendships are made and bonds are formed here, with plenty of late nights, crazy screenings, and great films. But BiFan has also made itself integral with its industry outreach and ability to forge connections internationally.” Another panelist can attest to this: “BiFan is one of those festivals that never sle...
Buenos Aires, Argentina / November 2022 / rojosangre.quintadimension.com/2.0
The very first genre film festival founded in Latin America, Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre is credited by two panelists as being “the festival that made us think: We can do a film festival in our continent!” “There’s an entire generation of Argentinean filmmakers that exists only because of Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre, and we hope they continue to fill their cinemas with genre love,” those panelists add. BARS upholds that reputation with competition categories devoted exclusively to Ibero-American ge...
Calgary, Canada / April 21-May 1, 2022 / calgaryundergroundfilm.org
“The highly respected Calgary Underground Film Festival is one of the most well-known underground festivals worldwide and a top festival destination in Canada, screening various films from all over the world, from horror to experimental,” says a panelist. Every year, CUFF kicks off by hosting a National Canadian Film Day screening of a Canadian cult classic. In 2021, that ice-breaking event featured a free, online screening of Hobo With a Shotgun, after which director Jason Eisener joined aud...
